We all know that the cloud is a game-changing and disruptive technology for the enterprise. It is no longer a question of “if” or “when” but rather a matter of “how.” Large companies are rapidly transforming into mobile digital organizations and the adoption of a hybrid cloud strategy is more common. The Hybrid Cloud has been applauded as the strategy to enable enterprises to maintain security, control, maximize ROI from local data centers and leverage the public cloud. Despite its benefits no one said it was a seamless and straightforward journey. How do leading enterprises overcome challenges related to security, networking, data and application, system management, and compatibility?

[push h=10]

Accelerate: Hybrid Cloud and the Future of Digital Transformation – An Interactive Lunch for Senior IT Leaders is invitation only and limited to 20 senior IT professionals in DevOps, architecture, strategy, cloud, business transformation, infrastructure, and office of the CIO positions, from major enterprises in the Greater Cleveland area.

[push h=10]

We will bring together senior enterprise IT leaders for an interactive discussion that will share lessons learned and experiences about how leading organizations work with the Hybrid Cloud.

[push h=10]

We will be addressing the following key topics:

• A review of the state of the private, public and hybrid cloud industry: the present and what’s to come
• How are leading enterprises using the hybrid cloud to transform themselves into digital organizations?
• What are the most top of mind cloud challenges an IT team faces as it relates to security, data protection and privacy?
• How the journey to the cloud is transforming IT as a service and increasing business agility
